We usually know if the person is female or male so just Dominant works here.  If we need to identify then it is " a female Dominant"

But sometimes i do hear the 'fem-dom' used..  I just wonder why the Dominants need to be identified by gender but slaves or subs are not?

femslave   boysub   femsub  malsub (sounds like a medical condition there)  how about transDom or transslave ?  OMG too much

lol... It's not a dumb question; just amusing.

I know that the "dom" at the end of the word "kingdom" is typically pronounced "dum".   However, "kingdom" is referring to a state, a realm or a sphere, over which a king presides. 

"Femdom" is used to refer to a person.  It is an abbreviated way of saying "female (feminine) dominant".  Think about how you pronounce "dom".

Of course, if you pronounce "dom" as "dum", I can't help you.

Status: offline 		Fem and Dom are usually pronounced as two seperate words, like Ford Truck or Snow Day. Fem is sometimes spelled Femme, but pronounced the same way. Dom is sometimes spelled Domme and can be pronouced as "Dom" or "Dom may" or "Dough May", both with the accent on the May.
